Standard Test Method for Field Testing Uplift Resistance of Adhered Membrane Roofing Systems

Importancia y uso:

4.1 This field test method is suitable for determining the uplift resistance of the roofing system as stated in applicable specifications, bid documents, or where required by other authorities having jurisdiction. This field test method is also intended to supplement measurement of the uplift resistance performance of roofing systems as determined under laboratory conditions.

4.2 This test method is commonly used on newly installed roofs, in which case it is intended to be conducted as soon as possible after completion of the installation while complying with 8.3 to prevent aging, weathering, wear, or other in-service factors from impacting the results.

4.3 This test method can also be used to aid in situ condition assessment of existing roofs.

4.4 This test method is primarily intended for field testing, although nothing in this method precludes its use in the laboratory.
